The Bullring
It's starting to become a bit of a tradition for me to visit Birmingham over Easter as the past 3 years in a row I've been over the Easter holidays! The past 2 years was cos my dad & little brother went to the Gadget Show Live so I went to the Bullring. Last year I was left for like 10 hours wandering on my own as no-one came with me :( but yesterday me & Danielle wanted a day out of Liverpool so went shopping for the day! :-)

We got the 10:34 train from Liverpool Lime Street to Birmingham New Street 1h 55mins. We chose to go to Birmingham as tickets were £18 return from Liverpool Lime Street & the Bullring is massive with a 3 floor Forever 21 (which we're still waiting to complete in Liverpool, was meant to open end of March.. Doesn't look like it'll be finished any time soon!) So hoped we could have a good shopping spree. Sadly the shops are rubbish at the moment! It was a very disappointing day as I didn't like anything, nothing really stood out to me even stuff that were expensive & out of my price range didn't catch my eye!
Forever 21 was the biggest disappointment even the jewellery were rubbish! They usually have loads of nice stuff in & have stuff I want cheap but they never :( So I left there empty handed after wandering round for like nearly 2 hours! However Danielle did get a jumper, top & a moustache necklace.
I didn't completely leave empty handed I did get a jumper from H&M kids for £9.99 & a pair of black high waisted leggins from the Urban Outfitters sale for £13.50 (£15, student discount!)
We also get some buns from the Chinese bakery so it wasn't that bad! But it was a long day & I'm still pretty tied from wandering round all day!
We got the 18:36 train & was back in Liverpool for 20:17 but had to get the bus home so didn't in till after 9pm. We were falling asleep on the train!
But I did have a good day out it makes a change from Liverpool's town even though they had all the same high street shops apart from F21 which are soon to get & a Selfridges.
Yay finally somewhere has got a pair of high waisted riding pants like the American Apparel ones! These are half the price & a lot more affordable & do look like them! They're not in stores yet but are on sale on the website so when they do come in store I may have to snap up a black pair as I've been wanting a pair for ages!
Hope you've had a good Easter & break from school/college/Uni!
It's that day of the week again I'm on the radio!

It's really nice, the Bullring is so good if you love shopping it's massive! But sadly I never got the chance to actually visit the city!
DeleteAww thank you, they'll be a great investment for half the price! :-)
